GUIDELINE FOR APPLICATION FOR ENERGY MANAGER ACCREDITATION

Guideline for Application for Energy Manager Accreditation

1.0 Energy Management

Energy management is the process of monitoring, controlling and conserving energy in a

building or an organization. Typically this involves the following steps.

Step 1 : Metering energy consumption and collecting the data

Step 2 : Finding opportunities to save energy and estimating energy saving potentials

Step 3 : Taking action to realize energy saving potentials (i.e. tackling the routine

waste and replacing or upgrading the inefficient equipment).

Step 4: Tracking the progress by analyzing meter data to make sure that the energy-

saving efforts have been effective.

Energy management is a cyclic process of reiteration of all the steps.

2.0 Accredited Energy Manager

The key person involving in implementing the energy management practices mentioned in

Section 1.0 in an organization is designated as the energy manager. The role of an energy

manager is to create a culture within an organization with the assistance of employees in all

levels, and thereby make energy efficiency a regular business practice. In order to ensure the

delivery of energy management functions, Energy Managers are accredited according to the

Government Notifications No. 1715/12 dated 20.07.2011.

6.0 Continued Assessment

Accredited Energy Managers are required to involve in energy management activities and

undergo training in energy management on continuous basis. For every three years

Accredited Energy Managers are required to have undergone at least one training programme

recognized by SLSEA.

SLSEA conducts an examination for Accredited Energy Managers annually, and Accredited

Energy Managers have to pass this examination after the training in order that the training

completed to be recognized in the subsequent renewal of accreditation. The pass mark of the

examination is 50 out of 100, and the examination fee is LKR 2500.00.

Accredited Energy Managers are also required to submit annual energy consumption reports

of the organization they are working for, in the form as mentioned in Annex 2. In addition,

they are required to submit performance review reports (see Annex 4) at the end of 3 years

from the date of issue of accreditation certificate. Assessment on the performance of Energy

Managers on energy management activities and skills development will be based on the

marks obtained from the examination and the performance as determined by performance

review reports. Any applicant who fails to demonstrate his/her capacity as energy manager as

assessed in the review may be given an opportunity to face an interview conducted by a panel

appointed by the Board of Management of SLSEA. Failure in the interview may lead to

cancellation of Certificate of Accreditation.

7.0 Energy Manager Training Programmes

Energy manager training programmes recognised by SLSEA in continuous assessment of
